Fortean Dreams
Not wanting to divert the other dream threads, I thought I'd start another one about the wierdest dream you've ever had.
Okay, so this isn't always easy as most dreams are odd in some way. Most of the time, though, you understand most of what you dream due to circumstances in your life.
eg: You'll have a really bad day at work, and you'll dream that night that you've gone back to 18th century France, and you're about to guillotine your boss.
But some dreams just seem to defy all rationality, due to their extreme abstract nature.
The wierdest dream I have ever had, I had about 3 days ago, which is what prompted me, after seeing the other Dream threads, to start this thread.
In my dream I was holding my three year old nephew, and we were looking out of my kitchen window at my new neighbours (which I don't have), who were throwing bags of jumble sale stuff into my garden (which I also don't have. I have a concrete yard). My nephew noticed something in the pile that interested him, and asked me if we could go and look at it. I agreed and opened the back door to allow us into the garden. As I opened the door, I realised that I couldn't see anything in the garden, no bags of stuff, nothing. When we came back into the house I looked through the window again, and we could see the bags being hurled over the wall.
I opened the door once more and went into the garden, and noticed that I couldn't see very well, which I immediately put down to not having my glasses on. As soon as I realised that I was missing my glasses, I realised I was dreaming, so took advantage of this and began exploring the house with my nephew.
I started to get the fuzzy feeling of waking up, and so handed my nephew to my sister, and told her I had to go due to the fact that this was only a dream, and I was about to wake up.
I awoke to find sunlight streaming through my curtains, so brightly that I had to squint against it. My sister then came into my room and asked to borrow my phone. I said yes, but could she fetch me a glass of water. She completely ignored me, so I asked again. She still ignored me. I asked a third time and she looked up at me and said "Oh, wake up you dozy bastard, you're still asleep." The room suddenly dissolved into darkness, and I found myself sitting on the edge of the bed, in total darkness.
That dream really spooked me because, although I've had dreams where I've woken up, only to discover that I haven't actually 'woken up', but I've never had a lucid dream before hand.
If you've managed to trawl your way through my ramblings, I commend you, and would like to know your most bizarre dreams.
If you gave up half way through, I don't blame you, I almost did too.
